Here is Doug Walton, one of the Electrical Engineering students I know pretty well at BYU. This shat was taken at a job recruiting dinner the Electrical Engineering department holds annually in conjunction with the STEM job recruiting fair. Students at BYU are not allowed to have beards but they can have mustaches so students like Doug try to get as creative as possible with their mustache designs and grooming.

University of Cambridge's 800th Anniversary streetlight banner. Details of a moth wing. Further info on this particular banner here: www.800.cam.ac.uk/page/53/moth-wing.htm . Final in this series. It was snowing when I took this so you'll see white specks on the image:-)
This is the view to the east, with the Northern Luzon mountain range in the background, and the tip of Bangui Bay in the lower left. This image shows 9 of the 15 turbines of Bangui Bay.
These 15 wind turbines(called Vestas NM82) provide a total of almost 25 MW of power and is part of the Luzon Island grid in the Philippines. Height of these windmills is 70 meters. Each of the three blades has a length of 41 meters. The wind swept area of the rotors is approximately 5,280 square meters. Each windmill is 326 meters apart, almost 1/3 of a kilometer.
Location of the turbines is at Pebble Beach, on the shores of Bangui Bay, Ilocos Norte province. These turbines is the first power plant of its kind in the Philippines and Southeast Asia.

I got this shirt when I went to visit MIT in 2000. I liked it because it was quirky and had equations on it. It wasn't until my Sophomore year when I found out these were Maxwell's Equations. It was such as awesome epiphany when I realized the equations we were studying in class were on my shirt. I love this shirt, but it became ridden with holes after all these years and it had to go.
The equations show how electricity and magnetism are related.

The old General Tire & Rubber Company plant in Waco remained mainly in disuse for many years, but the empty facility still had enormous potential. The company’s main building was heavily renovated in 2010 for use by the Baylor Research and Innovation Collaborative (BRIC). It now uses more than 300,000 square feet of the facility. Baylor University, Texas State Technical College, and leading industries utilize this space for advanced research in engineering, air science, quantum optics, and more. Students are able to experience some of the latest innovations in these fields and get hands-on experience in their fields of study—helping Waco continue to innovate and train a new generation well into the future.

Sunrise time at The Tungabhadra Dam, Hospet, Karnataka.
The chief architect of this dam was Dr.Thirumala Iyengar. The construction was started in 1949 & completed in 1953. It was a joint venture between erstwhile Hyderabad State & Madras Presidency. Now it's currently under the Govt of Karnataka. This dam serves many purposes like irrigation, power, flood control, etc. This dam is also a major tourist attraction as it also holds a beautiful garden & a sanctuary.
Shieldfield windows - offices of Veale-Nixon Limited. I just love the colours, and the sky was so perfect as a backdrop this afternoon.
Veale-Nixon was founded in the North East in the early 1940’s by J.N. Veale and J.H. Nixon. At this time the Company was heavily involved with installation works in the ship building industry.
Today Veale-Nixon Ltd is one of the North East’s leading electrical contractors providing premier electrical engineering services for both public sector and private customers in educational, commercial and industrial markets.
In 1951, to celebrate their centenary, the Bradford Chamber of Commerce produced a fine publication that includes information as to the many retail, industrial and manufacturing concerns based in the city and who were represented in the Chamber. At the time Bradford was one of the centres of the world's woollen trade and industries.
This advert shows the products of the English Electric works at Thornbury in Bradford where the company manufactured the bulk of its electric motors for both industrial and traction purposes. The factory's name - the Phoenix Works, dates from the pre-merger days in 1918 that created English Electric, when the Phoenix Dynamo Company was based here.

I wanted to try out my Raynox DCR-250 macro converter on some circuit boards. The printed letters on this board are no more than one millimeter in height. The Raynox lens is just awesome. I talk more about its benefits in the first comment of this photo.
This particular photo was taken with the Raynox lens (it snaps on) and my Canon 18-55mm lens (the kit lens). If I had used my 55-250mm lens (telephoto), then I would have had much better detail; I would have been able to zoom in much farther and make that little text look huge! I didn't think to use my telephoto lens when I took these circuitry pictures, so I will have to get the boards back out to snap another shot of it to show you the difference. As I have started to do lately, I will post more photos that I captured of the circuit board in the first comment below. :-)
NOTE: I got around to taking some photos of the circuit boards with my telephoto lens + the Raynox lens. It is really, really sensitive to shake (because you're zoomed in so much and you're capturing so much detail), but I was able to get one good one. I'll post it with the other photos in the first comment below.

An advert in the London & North Eastern Railway's "Ports book" for 1935 showing a turbo-alternator generating set manufactured by the Newcastle - Upon _ tyme based engineering company C.A. Parsons & Co. Ltd. but also flagging the fact that the LNER had moved this kit by rail and road from Parsons works to Brighton in Sussex.
Parsons were, of course, famous for their founder's development of the steam turbine and the company was formed in 1889 to manufacture machines that found use in electrical generation. The County Borough of Brighton's Electricity Department began supplying consumers in 1891 from a small generating station in North Road, although they were not the first. Indeed in 1894 they acquired the rival Brighton & Hove Electric Light Company whose story dated back to 1882 when they initiated what is claimed to be the world's first continuous supply of electricity.
In 1908 a new, replacement generating station was opened at Southwick known as Shoreham "A" station and this continued in use with various additions and alterations until 1976. It was adjacent to the "A" station that the larger and local landmark Shoreham "B" station was in operation from 1952 until the mid-1980s. I wonder where this image, of the stator on a remarkable road vehicle of the LNER, was taken? It looks like a railway yard given the coal merchants hut. I am suspecting that it is being driven out of the at the west side of the now lost Goods Yard at Hove station as the houses in the background do seem to resemble those on Sackville Road at the junction of Poynter Road.

A very well known name in the field of such equipment, Sangamo Weston was formed in 1936 by the merger of two British subsidiaries of American concerns; British Sangamo (formed in 1921) and who made electricity meters, and British Weston Electrical Instrument Co., then based in Surbiton. They were for many years based in Enfield with the Port Glasgow works opening in 1950 and this site has survived along with the name Sangamo. The concern has undergone several changes of ownership before being bought back by it's management and reverting to the name of one of its founding partners.
Such timing clocks were study beasts and indeed, it isn't so long since the one controlling the stair lighting in the flats, constructed in 1963, in Woodford Green, that I lived in, had its Sangamo clock timer replaced!
From the Scottish Municipal Annual of 1963 - Stella, the reliable lamp. Addresses in both Giffnock and Shaftesbury Ave., London, are given but Stella was in fact a subsidiary company of Philips Electric. In the surprisingly murky world of lamp and bulb manufacturing, that in the inter-war years was amazingly complex in terms of brands, ownerships and trade 'agreements' and cartels, this arrangement was not uncommon!
The advert shows a range of street lighting equipment, including the control gear, for the seemibly bright white light of mercury discharge. It used to be a real thing, the difference between varying local authorities, as to whom used this 'white' light and the 'orange' of sodium discharge!

Seo stáisiún na mónadh, nó 'an turf-burning' mar a b'fhearr aithne air. Sheas sé ar bhruach Loch Mhín na Cuinge i nGaoth Dobhair. Tógadh idir 1954 agus 1958 é, ceann de cheithre cinn ar chósta thiar na hÉireann sna Caogaidí. Bhí na cinn eile sa Scríb i gCo. na Gaillimhe, Sráid na Cathrach i gCo. An Chláir agus Cathair Saidhbhín i gCo. Chiarraí. Dódh suas le 30,000 tonna mónadh sa bhliain nuair a bhí an stáisiún i mbarr a réime, rud a chuidigh go mór le feirmeoirí an cheantair. Druideadh an stáisiún i 1996 agus leagadh go talamh sa bhliain 2002 é.

This is the Electricity Supply Board peat-powered generating station in Gaoth Dobhair, Co. Donegal, situated on the banks of Loch Mhín na Cuinge. Construction began in 1954 and the station was commissioned in 1958. It was one of four built on the west coast of Ireland in the 1950s. The others were in Scríb, Co. Galway, Miltown Malbay in Co. Clare and Cahersiveen in Co. Kerry. Around 30,000 tons of turf was burned annually when the station was at its peak. This was a much-needed source of additional income for subsistance farmers in the area. The station finally closed in 1996 and was demolished in 2002.

Thank you to all my favs, I look forward to seeing more of your work❤️🌺 I apologize for not being on here much this weekend as we are visiting my husband's family. My prayers go out to my father in law and the rest of my family. I know he's going to fight and be okay again!!!❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
A fine representation of one of the wonders of electrical engineering - over the years with London Transport I've been privileged to see a few of these 'sci-fi' beasts (and indeed move one). They are wonderful in action - real 'Metropolis' stuff - and I recall, I'm sure, that the old Birmingham Museum of Science & Industry (that joyful old place on Newhall St that we visited so often in the 1960s to press buttons and watch things work) had one that worked.
BT-H, part of AEI, were based at Rugby and were one of the great names in British electrical engineering. The advert notes that this was built for one of the trolleybus sub-stations, Dudley Hill, on the Bradford, Yorkshire, network - the system destined to be the last UK trolleybus operator until 1972.
